Hi there!

<h3>Question 15:</h3>

We can see from the graph the spikes during the dry years in beak size, which happen every single time there is a dry year. We can then reasonably infer that this would happen with an extended period of drought, however more significantly as well.

This makes your answer B, the birds with larger beaks would be more numerous.

Looking through the other answer choices - A is incorrect, as just stated above the larger ones would likely become more numerous. C is also incorrect, as we can see from the graph during dry years it does influence ground finches. Finally, D is also incorrect, as we can see the average obviously moving upwards to those with bigger beaks.

<h3>Question 16:</h3>

We are given that during dry years, the finches eat larger seeds as the smaller seeds are less abundant. This means that those finches with larger beaks would have an advantage for survival, as it is easier for them to eat these larger seeds compared to those with smaller beaks. This then means that more and more finches with larger beaks would survive, making the overall population have larger beaks over time.

This makes your answer C, different adaptations gave some birds a better chance for survival.

Looking through the other answer choices - A is incorrect, as they cannot just decide to acquire larger beaks. B is incorrect, as mutations do not just happen and cause such a big shift, and in an efficient direction (most mutations end up not affecting the animal at all. Finally, D is incorrect, as I don't think beaks have the capability of getting larger as they are exercised more.

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions about this specific problem.

2. The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the ___________ arteriole. The blood flow in the vasa recta runs
lorasvet [3.4K]
<h2>Vasa recta </h2>

Explanation:

The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the efferent arteriole; The blood flow in the vasa recta runs parallel, but in the opposite direction to the flow of tubular filtrate within the nephron loop

  • The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle
  • The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption
  • Absorbed water is returned to the circulatory system via the vasa recta, which surrounds the tips of the loops of Henle
  • Because the blood flow through these capillaries is very slow, any solutes that are reabsorbed into the bloodstream have time to diffuse back into the interstitial fluid, which maintains the solute concentration gradient in the medulla; this passive process is known as counter-current exchange
